Last-gasp Sabitzer strike sends Dortmund past Bremen in German Cup
BERLIN: Marcel Sabitzer scored deep into stoppage time as Borussia Dortmund fought off Werder Bremen 3-2 in the second round of the German Cup on Tuesday.
Berlin: In a dramatic conclusion to the second round of the German Cup, Borussia Dortmund edged past Werder Bremen 3-2 thanks to a late goal from Marcel Sabitzer. The hosts had taken a 2-1 lead with goals from Serhou Guirassy and Carney Chukwuemeka. Midfielder Niclas Fuellkrug, who had come on as a substitute, netted twice in quick succession to secure the win and send Dortmund through.
Sabitzer expressed his delight, stating, "I'm really happy it went in. My right foot has always been pretty good. It's good for the team, but also good for me." Fuellkrug, on loan from West Ham, has scored in his last seven matches for Bremen and has netted 11 times in nine games this season. Earlier in the day, RB Leipzig fought back from 10 men to defeat third-tier Rot-Weiss Essen 2-1.
